I had my 37 week check-up this morning. I should've known it was going to be an annoying day by wind of my wakeup. Check that-- 4:45 AM. Baby's foot/elbow/hand stuck in my right rib. Not comfy.
So, I roll in to the doc's office. By other blogs, you all know that I'm not a 100% fan of my ob(s). Every time I go there, its something. An attitude, a snarky remark, etc. I get that all you make shit tons of money and answer the same questions over and over again however, a little kindness goes a long way. Moving on.
The nurse tells me to remove my pants and underpants for an exam. Sorry, gross. I know. The doctor comes in and we partake in stupid chit chat. I tell her I had some more bleeding (normal for this late in the game), cramps almost every day and that I'm generally uncomfortable. She basically tells me to deal with it and to fuck off.
Doc listened to baby's heartbeat (normal) and measured my stomach. Baby is measuring a week behind schedule apparently.... another normal thing. Good movement, whatever. Then she goes.... "Are we doing an exam today?" I was like, "I thought I had to do this every time I came in now?" She said no and that is was OPTIONAL. You mean to tell me that getting fisted was optional? Awesome. Bitch.
Long story short, I'm not dilated. Nothing. No change. Same as week 20. So annoying. I thought SOME progress had been made. No dice.
Let's talk about something more interesting and more worthy of my soapbox: The Aurora, CO shooter situation.
People will get their hands on guns whether they are illegal or not. People will also be crazy. If you want to be in the grips of both guns and a heavy psychosis, point the gun at yourself and not others... let alone in a fucking movie theater..... jee whiz. The gentleman in custody/being charged with the crimes of killing 12 innocent people during a movie apparently likens himself to the Joker (from Batman). Holy shit this world is out of control.
I'm don't believe in the death penalty (mostly due in part to thinking that only God decides the fate of others) HOWEVER, if a family member/loved one fell victim to a horrible crime (such as rape, murder, etc) I would most likely feel as though the death penalty was justifiable. Anyhoo.... I guess Colorado is seeking the death penalty for the Joker. I'm not sure if the Joker has issued a statement concerning his recent choice to pick off several people howevever, if I were his attorney, I'd advise him to never speak again. If he gets less than 4 life sentences, he is one lucky dog.
Chris and I had to make a run to Wal-Mart for a diaper tupperware thingy yesterday. I've said it before and I'll say it again...... that place is like a funnel of awesomeness. Put on your Sunday best people 'cause its time to hit up Wal-Mart. Talk about front asses of all shapes and sizes... I felt HOT walking in there. I mean, wedding day hot..... and I'm 9 months pregnant.
All things considered, I only cried for 10 minutes today. The weight of being unemployed and not anywhere close to giving birth annoyed the shit out of me this afternoon. I could sum this up with a quick, swift What The Fuck.
The Jennie Show is a daily dose of how I view the world; no sweatpant too tight, no puppy too cute and no subject off limits. 39 years of life experience has brought me my awesome husband, an unruly but very soft-earred dog, and two delicious children. I love being a mom, cooking, ready historical biographies, running, skiing, Christmas, sauvignon blanc, lawn chairs and cheesy yacht-rock-style music (most often heard in a dentist office).

Don't let the lack of progress get you down... I walked around for weeks at 2 cm and we know where I ended up... You can kick in to gear quickly when the time comes! It doesn't mean anything. Hang in there. Still. Some more. :)
